Baseboards have become a quintessential piece of modern home décor. These essential add-ons are yet another way to up your home’s style quotient. As you plan out your home remodeling project, consider the different styles of baseboards available and try to envision how each one would look in your home.
Differentiating Different Styles of Baseboards
Bohemian
Bohemian is one of today’s more popular styles of baseboards. It’s a mixture of ornate Moroccan patterns with a funky, unconventional, and eclectic appearance. The design has curves that portray a lavish décor. It is suitable for people who want to achieve a certain unspoken elegance.
Curved
Curved baseboards, which have an effortless and delicate appearance, can fit in just about any room. They can deliver a classy yet distressed look to your home. Often sold in cream colors, curved baseboards tend to work well in understated rooms.
Flat and Angular
Sharp angles and bold lines with exposed concrete are a type of practical industrial vintage design. It’s one of the rugged styles of baseboards known for its firm, edgy and urban look. When styling a vintage industrial home, flat, square, and angular baseboards have emerged as popular choices.
Bold
These designs bring a classic but sophisticated and intriguing design. It combines modern curves and bevels with base caps that tend to match the décor of new traditional homes.
Smooth and Clean
Smooth flat and angular baseboards can be strikingly-beautiful yet still simple. They are an ideal solution for craftsman-style rooms because they convey authenticity.
Other Key Considerations When Planning Your Project
Materials
MDF: These materials are pre-primed and very affordable.
Wood: Prices vary depending on the type of wood. However, oak will cost you more than other materials.
PVC: It does not absorb water and can come in many different styles, but it lacks durability.
Height
Baseboards come in different heights, ranging from three to five to eight inches high.
The Existing Elements of Your Home
As you dive deeper into planning your renovation project, reconsider what is already in your home and how that might affect the look of your moldings, including:
- Height of your home’s wall
- Size of the area you want to add molding to
- What objects might come into contact with your new baseboards
After doing this due diligence, you will move one step closer to selecting your dream baseboards.
